The Route
Istanbul
7 nights
Athens (Piraeus)
How the route could go:
-
WED · 07 Jul 2027Istanbul · Embarkation
Istanbul is the only city in the world that lies on two continents. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar concentrate more world history than any other city on the Bosphorus.
-
THU · 08 Jul 2027At sea
-
FRI · 09 Jul 2027Kavala
Port city in northern Greece, opposite the island of Thasos on the northern Aegean. Its landmark is the Ottoman aqueduct Kamares, which spans the picturesque old town on the Panagia peninsula.
-
SAT · 10 Jul 2027Skiathos
In the Northern Sporades of the Greek Aegean, the forested island of Skiathos is famed for its more than 60 sandy beaches. The long golden Koukounaries strand ranks among Greece's finest.
-
SUN · 11 Jul 2027Syros
Syros belongs to the Cyclades in the Greek Aegean and serves as the administrative seat of the archipelago. Its capital Ermoupoli charms visitors with neoclassical palazzos, marble piazzas and the Apollo Theatre.
-
MON · 12 Jul 2027Amorgos
Amorgos is the easternmost of the Cyclades and perhaps the most dramatic, its steep mountain flanks plunging straight into a deep blue sea. Pressed into a cliff face 300 metres high, the monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa gleams dazzling white above the water; founded in 1088, it is still home to a handful of monks. On the coast below lies the bay of Agia Anna, immortalised by Luc Besson in his 1988 film The Big Blue. High above it all stands the Chora, a labyrinth of whitewashed lanes and old windmills that seems to have forgotten time.
-
TUE · 13 Jul 2027Kythnos
Island in the western Greek Cyclades, only a short crossing from Attica. Known for the thermal springs of Loutra, the horseshoe-shaped sand strip of Kolona and the unspoilt island village of Dryopida with its winding lanes.

WED · 14 Jul 2027Athen (Piräus) · Disembarkation
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.
